Height depends on a lot of factors,primary being genetic,though external factors like diet and exercise also matter a lot. Having said that,NO food/ medicine or supplements exist which will increase the height beyond what is written in the genetic code. All you can do is give a healthy balanced diet and ensure good physical activity.
